Definitions
- the present invention is directed to methods of making an article bearing a relief image using a removable film that may be reused to make additional articles bearing the relief image.
- the method of the present invention differs from the analog method in that the present invention utilizes an imaged film that adheres to the imageable article during the curing step so that the vacuum draw-down step is not required.
- the imaged film also has the characteristic in that it may be removed from the imageable article and reused.
- the method includes the steps of imagewise exposing an imageable film containing imageable material to imaging radiation to form an imaged film, laminating the imaged film to an imageable article that includes a photosensitive material and a releasing layer, exposing the imageable article to curing radiation through the imaged film, removing the imaged film from the imageable article so that the imaged film is reusable, and developing the imageable article to form the relief image.
- Yet another advantage of the invention is that the imaged film and mask image may be examined prior to transferring the imaged film to the imageable article. This permits the mask image to be "proofed” and corrected before a relief image is produced. Since the imageable article is typically much more expensive than the imageable film used for making the mask image, cost savings can be realized in the production of relief images. This is particularly the case when the imageable article is a flexographic precursor.
- the methods provided by the present invention are advantageous as compared to the integral mask method of forming relief images. For example, the mask image may be made in significantly less time due to much greater imaging sensitivity than when an integral mask article is imaged.
- Fig. 2 A illustrates a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the imageable film that includes a mask substrate, a subbing layer and an imageable material.
- One suitable hydroxy-functional polymer for use as the binder is a reaction product formed by reacting poly(vinyl alcohol) with butyraldehyde. Commercial grades of this reaction product typically leave at least 5% of the hydroxy groups unreacted (i.e., free), and are generally in common organic solvents and possess excellent film-forming and pigment-dispersing properties.
- fluorocarbon additive A wide variety of compounds may be employed as the fluorocarbon additive, provided that the chosen additive is substantially involatile under normal coating and drying conditions, and is sufficiently compatible with the binder(s).
- highly insoluble fluorocarbons such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyvinylidenefluoride, are unsuitable, as are gases and low boiling liquids, such as perfluoralkanes.
- gases and low boiling liquids such as perfluoralkanes.
- both polymeric and lower molecular weight materials may be used. Examples of suitable fluorocarbon additives are described in U.S. Pat. No.
- Suitable sheet supports for the receptor sheet include, for example, plastic sheet materials and films, such as polyethylene terephthalate, fluorene polyester polymers, polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylics, polyvinyl chloride and copolymers thereof, and hydrolyzed and non-hydrolyzed cellulose acetate.
- a particularly suitable support is a polyester film, such as a polyethylene terephthalate sheet.
- a polyethylene terephthalate sheet sold under the name MELINEX by DuPont Teijin Films (Hopewell, Virginia), such as MELINEX 574 is suitable.
- the sheet support is typically about 20 - 200 microns thick. If necessary, the support may be pretreated so as to modify its wettability and adhesion to subsequently applied coatings. Such surface treatments include corona discharge treatment, and application of subbing layers or releasing layers.
- the sheet support may also comprise a strippable layer containing an adhesive, such as an acrylic or vinyl acetate adhesive.
- a texturized surface on the sheet support or the coating may be provided by a plurality of protrusions extending from a major surface of the support or coating.
- the protrusions can be obtained in a variety of ways.
- a texturizing material may be included in the coating to form the protrusions, as discussed below.
- the sheet support may be microreplicated by conventional methods, thereby forming the protrusions.
- a texturized receptor sheet is reported in U.S. Pat. No. 4,876,235 to DeBoer, for example.
- the binder may include a hydroxylic polymer (i.e., a polymer having a plurality of hydroxy groups), or may include polymers free from hydroxy groups.
- binder may also be suitably employed as the binder.
- a mixture of BUTVAR B-76 and SAA-100 in a ratio of about 2:1 - 20:1 by weight is suitable.
- the particles should not project above the plane of the surface of the receptor element by more than about 8 microns on average, but should preferably project above said plane by at least about 1 microns, and more preferably at least about 3 microns. In some constructions, it is advantageous to add two distinct sets of beads with different average sizes. This allows the flexibility to balance haze with slip or separation characteristics.
- Another step in the method of the present invention includes laminating the imaged film to an imageable article.
- the step of laminating the imaged film includes placing the mask image in proximity with the releasing layer disposed on the photosensitive material.
- the result of one embodiment of this step is illustrated in Fig. IB in which the imaged film formed of a mask image 4 disposed on a mask substrate 6 is shown laminated onto an imageable article formed of a releasing layer 8, a photosensitive material 10, and a photosensitive substrate 12.
- Various embodiments of the imageable article are discussed below as well as in U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 11/081,018 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- BUTVAR B-76 - polyvinyl butyral resin available from Solutia, Inc. (St. Louis, Missouri)
